Who cares if they canceled the show “for political reasons”? They can cancel it for any reason, or for no reason. Is there an alleged crime or scandal if they cancel for political reasons?
(Oh, and did Biden have a former president’s dwelling raided for political reasons? This would of course be much worse than a network canceling one of its own shows, if so.)
When CBS has greased the deck for the cannons and it cost them sixteen million, the grease is hard to clean up, but getting rid of the cannons is easy.
I, like, totally agree with them. It's indeed a strange coincidence.
In fact, it's like Christmas in July!
They can bring it up.
My response: What difference at this point does it make?
Colbert hasn’t been funny since Strangers With Candy.
They question and can’t agree amongst themselves how many genders there are. They are a questionable bunch alright.
Much more likely the show was propped up for political reasons.
I forgot this guy was still on the air.
A politically motivated attack on free speech? Oh, for crying out loud! Since when does a network not have the right to cancel a program they own? The show is obviously losing money because nobody watches it. Gutfeld is eating up all the viewers because it’s funnier. (though it’s been getting too raunchy lately).
Nope. Lack of viewership plus he’s an anti-Trump and conservative hater.
I gave up on late night shows near the end of Johnny Carson.
Mostly I watched the comedy bits and turned off.
Like CNN, the production crew doesn’t even watch the show. Doubt that the cancellation is political.
Extremely doubtful. It is always about one thing, and one thing only.... money. Nothing else is even slightly a consideration.
And not just the money of his show, but how it effects the entire network’s bottom line.
The whole idea of stopping something because it’s not profitable is alien to them.
These dummies are confirming that this show was politically oriented.
Is it political to cancel the show because Colbert’s an unfunny idiot and few people watch?
Google AI’s summation seems reasonable —
“Business Decision:
CBS is citing financial reasons for the cancellation, as the network sees a decline in ad revenue and audience for late-night shows.
Colbert’s Performance:
Even though Colbert’s “Late Show” has been performing well, the broader financial pressures within the late-night television landscape are impacting CBS’s decision.
End Date:
The show is scheduled to end in May 2026. “
The Democrats’ popularity is below 20%, and this is what they come up with to talk about.
